But now on to chaos. The first image below is the first image that came to mind on this subject. This is what we encountered shortly after Florence when driving to Slovenia across the Apennines for New Year’s Eve two years ago. Amore said: “I don’t think this is rain any longer.” And so he drove on the snow for the first time ever.

Some would describe these scenes as chaos, others as drama, still others as only natural, but no matter how you call it – whoomp, there it is, and we better deal!

Luckily, the snow melts somewhere else. 😉

This is even more chaos-like and it’s all our doing.

The chaos of ingredients and tastes, or a perfect salad? (I wish to confirm that this was the full meal without bread, french fries or anything like that.)

A serene scene or a chaotic hunting-ground? The latter, if you ask the blades of grass.

Yesterday I hopped to Niki’s Tarot Garden for a short while due to chaotic weather, and confirmed that I wouldn’t last in her living-room for more than an hour.

Another scene from the Garden from another time (for more info see the previous post): the Death and the chaos beneath her.

Sometimes we help death a lot.

Rocca Aldobrandesca in Sovana, Etruscan fortification from the 11th Century: chaos or merely passage of time?

It could turn to chaos in somebody else’s hands. 🙂

Nature winning over the chaos that the fire left behind. Argentario peninsula four years ago.

The chaos of nature having fun. I could lie about where this is, couldn’t I? Actually, it’s in the middle of a Mittel-European capital. Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Controlled nature can still be a bit chaotic, if you let Italians do it. Piazza Navona, Roma.

Or they simply hang up plastic bits and call it autumn feast. We caught a Balkan street group performing in Monticello Amiata under these. It was fun.

The sea has its own definition of chaos. I didn’t even know how much until I saw the Pacific ocean. This is our Tyrrhenian Sea though.

It can still get a little naughty sometimes.

This is a peculiar image. A beer bottle in primary school would surely wreak chaos, no? In this case, however, the school was being used as a location for an adult card tournament during the weekend. Only in Slovenia.

Uncle looking forlorn in the chaos of Siena. Until he spotted me.

The result of the chaos that is walking all day around Roma. We look stuck. Photo: MC

But the real chaos is having a rapper mom, don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. 😉

…or learning that this man from Roma – who is afraid of snow so much – knows how to skate. I didn’t believe him, he had to demonstrate. 😀 (BTC, Ljubljana)

I agree with Mamie, so many chaotic thoughts you had!! 😄 That death-helping photo looks like a brutal party! 😉 “Drama”, that was the word I was looking for,which you mentioned earlier in connection with snow. Well, chaos, drama – same same!

Oh this is just precious! You managed to capture chaos perfectly. My fave is the snow chaos as I can relate very well. Imagine having to shovel snow on your own yard for two hours (and that didn’t even cut it as hubby did two more later)…

Ah, Suvi, I’m glad you appreciate my chaos situations. 🙂 I often woke up to the sound of shovels back in Ljubljana. Not as much as you, but it gets quite a lot of snow. I think the record was up to my hips. What I preferred myself, in case of smaller quantities, was to wait for the snow to melt or drive over it with the car a few times. 😀 (After clearing the sidewalk for pedestrians to pass safely, of course. We were obliged by law to do that.)

This blog is closed but continues. Visit: Manja Mexi Moving - closed

Right now I find it the right time to turn a new leaf and close this blog once and for all. I loved this blog the most of all former four, its coral colour and such a pretty main page. It is going to stay as is, just that no more posts will be added […]

It’s moving time. Manja Mexi is Moving to Excess. This is the door to my new blog Manja Mexi Mexcessive and the first post there, which is by not much chance my today’s Thursday Doors post. You are kindly invited to see other doors from this pretty town visited in great company on my new […]

Since this blog is dangerously close to its 3 GB limit and my new blog is not ready yet, I continue cheating by selecting photos that have been posted before. All today’s photos have been posted for various Lens-Artists photo challenges this year already but they still answer to the theme of framing the shot […]

I will cheat a little and repost a bunch of photos that I have posted this year on various Friendly Fridays already. The reasons are that I’m still travelling and that this blog is coming to an end. As all good things, this blog is about to burst at the height of its glory (heh) […]

It’s hard to believe it but I’ve filled up this blog as well, my fourth. Before it bursts at the seams, here is my selection of past Thursday Doors that I really like. Since I’m still in my country of origin, I don’t even have time to set up my new blog. Until I do, […]

Think about it: nobody has looked from your angle before you came along. As I started to read Leya’s post for this week’s Lens Artists photo challenge on the theme of angles, I knew immediately what my post would include. Have a look at the featured photo. Have you ever seen this? It says “yes” […]
